From Backcountry.com:
"If your standard day on the rock includes muti-pitch routes and hanging belays, the comfort of the Black Diamond Chaos Harness is perfect for you. The waist belt is wider than any other in the BD line and has a bullhorn shape for more comfortable hanging belays and increased freedom of movement. The waist belt also features in-molded vents, which increase air flow on hot days. Four gear loops easily hold your trad rack, and a full-strength haul loop lets you trail a line so you can rap off when you finish the route. Strap on the Chaos, and climb until the treetops look like broccoli."

"This harness is quite comfortable, for a harness that is. I do a lot of single pitch sport climbing and have taken some sick falls with minimal pain.

Would be better if the legs were adjustable."
